    Drove my av8 every day for almost 4 years (the only car I owned at the time). This was from 1959-1963 (junior year of high school thru 2nd year of college. This was in Michigan and NO heater...............only failed to start about a dozen times when it got below zero. As much as I love my old Fords I'm glad these are memories..........not current events.:)

    Drive the 50 Merc everyday that I can. Which isn't enough for me, everyday would be just fine.

    Mine is driven on a regular basis... Pontiac flathead straight eight. Wouldn't be scared to drive it anywhere! Still 6 volts, it starts great mostly year round, but it gets pretty cold here in the winter so I usually set another 6V battery in it and hook it up parallel for that extra boost :D
